EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the founding of the Jesuit Order in an underground chapel in Montmartre, France. In 1534, Ignatius de Loyola and six companions gathered together to dedicate themselves to spreading the Word of God. The image shows them kneeling before a crucifix, symbolizing their commitment to their mission.
The setting is atmospheric and evocative, with dim lighting casting shadows on the walls of the crypt where this historic event took place. The Romanesque architecture of the church of Saint Denis adds to the sense of solemnity and reverence surrounding this momentous occasion.
As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the birth of one of the most influential religious orders in history. Founded on principles of devotion, service, and education, the Jesuits have played a significant role in shaping Catholicism and spreading Christianity around the world.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of faith and dedication, capturing a defining moment that continues to inspire believers centuries later. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Ignatius de Loyola and his companions as they embarked on their mission to serve God and humanity through their work with the Society of Jesus.
